At last! My patience has paid off and I am now the owner of my very own vintage meat dome! I looked back and discovered that I have been pinning them on Pinterest and sharing these beauties on my Facebook page for FIVE YEARS but the cost has always been prohibitive. And now...finally...after years of waiting and looking, a reasonably-priced meat dome crossed my path and came home with me!
I was antiquing with my friend Nan in Madison, Georgia when this beauty was literally sitting in the door of my favorite antique shop, waiting for me!
I love the detail of the handle...
...and the engraving of a strange little furry arm with a weapon on the side. I did a little research, certain that this would give away its maker, but was unable to find out anything about it. Do you recognize it?
I displayed it with one if my double happiness jars filled with spring daffodils. I love the way it's reflected in the meat dome!
A little (and I do mean little) history....meat domes are just that...domes to cover the meat as it is brought to the table. I imagine it at a Victorian table as a part of a fabulous silver service. Of course, it will not see that kind of splendid use at my house but it will be treasured! Now I can mark one find off of my bucket list. Next...a reasonably-priced French pastry table....also the object of a five year search. Wish me luck!

ReplyDeleteI had never heard of a meat dome or a pastry table before! Thanks to you, Debbie, I am educated! I love your meat dome. And I looked at your Pinterest board of them and the pastry tables. The tables are beautiful---so elegant with their scrolled legs. I hope you find one soon!
